A team of researchers from RMIT University’s Center for Advanced Electronics and Sensors(Opens in a new window) have come up with a breakthrough method that equips smartphones with special sensors to ...

Carsten Brinkschulte, who founded Dryad Networks, built an IoT network to detect wildfires. He's motivated by the impact of his work and urges founders and engineers to move to green tech. This ...

The last 10 years or so have produced some colossal and deadly fire events that have destroyed whole towns, burned a record amount of acreage, and polluted skies for weeks. And wildfires are not just ...

They linger in our water, our blood and the environment—so-called "forever chemicals” that are notoriously difficult to detect. But researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University researchers have developed a new method for making extremely pure, very small metal-oxide nanoparticles. They are using this simple, fast, and low-temperature ...

Researchers have developed a sensor made from 'frozen smoke' that uses artificial intelligence techniques to detect formaldehyde in real time at concentrations as low as eight parts per billion, far ...

It takes just a moment to add a new app to your phone, but adding a sensor to a military radar display takes years. That’s why air-defense troops must bounce between multiple systems, wasting precious ...

SMALLEST AMOUNTS OF FENTANYL. WHEN I FIRST CAME INTO THIS LAB, UH, SO STARTED TO WORK WITH THIS CARBON NANOTUBE. THAT’S AN IMPORTANT TERM TO REMEMBER, BECAUSE CARBON NANOTUBES ARE IMPORTANT TO DOCTOR ...

Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (also known as bird flu) have created a need for rapid and sensitive detection methods to mitigate its spread. Now, researchers in ACS Sensors ...

Scientists have designed a new type of gas sensor that can tell apart "mirror image" versions of the same smell molecule, even at very low concentrations. By coating carbon nanotubes with custom-built ...
